[clug-talk] Streaming audio in Ubuntu

[Joseph Szikora]

    I  installed Ubuntu in an older HP Pavilion to donate to an 
illiterate friend, to introduce him to computing.
    I found, that downloading streaming audio in Firefox is pretty 
lousy. It simply gets stuck and nothing happens, even the modem light 
doesn't flicker. An older Kubuntu and Mandrake seemed to have worked 
better. 
    Does Ubuntu lack the proper ( Real Audio compatible ) application?
    Is the KDE system better suited for streaming audio or it has better 
applications?
    Is my swap partition too small?

    Thanks for any opinion.

       Joseph.
